Summary:
The 40359 zip code area in Kentucky is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Owen County school district. Unfortunately, these schools appear to be consistently underperforming, with low statewide rankings, test scores well below state averages, and high rates of chronic absenteeism.
None of the schools in the 40359 zip code stand out as high-performing. Owen County Elementary/Primary School and Maurice Bowling Middle School are ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Kentucky, while Owen County High School has a relatively high graduation rate of 93.5% but still struggles with a 1% dropout rate.
The data suggests that the schools in the 40359 zip code area face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.58% at the high school to 62.96% at the elementary school. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates are high across all three schools, at 25% for the 2024-2025 school year. While resource allocation varies, with the high school spending less per student than the other two schools, the overall performance of these schools indicates a need for systemic improvements and targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and help these students succeed.
